Please join me 6:00 tonight in PC at the Kimball Library for a State of the state of the snowpack prezo. It’ll be informative… it’s gonna be a deep dive… and it just might be entertaining. Most importantly, we can collectively wrap our brains around the snowpack and have a better understanding of what we’re dealing with now, how we got there, and where we’re going… safely 🤙 by @most_og

The Grande El Niño is here, the biggest one in recorded history. What does it mean for Utah snow this winter?

Craig sat down with hydrologist Brian McInerney (30 years at the National Weather Service) to break down the jet stream, atmospheric rivers, and what early, mid, and late winter could look like. Brought to you from DPS Skis HQ in Salt Lake City. #alwayswintersomewhere

"Bring your pow skis."

This summer, we've been living vicariously through DPS Ambassador Santiago Guzman, based in Bariloche, Argentina. In this latest episode of 'Always Winter Somewhere', Craig Gordon catches up with Santi on the state of the Patagonia season.

You hear the case for a "one ski quiver" often, especially for trips across the globe. Santi's take: bring the pow ski. Trust him, it's worth it.

If you chase the powder turn above all else, DPS's pow skis are built for the ski trip of a lifetime. That trip might just be in South America.

The two sexiest words in meteorology: atmospheric river. Craig and Caleb Merrill, DPS Skis Ambassador and Backcountry Ski Guide break down the A.R. that's been slamming the Central Andes recently, and what it means for the snowpack.

Their full long-form convo covers a lot more too: reading aspect in the southern hemisphere, rain crust risk, where to find reliable avy forecasting in Chile and Argentina, trip logistics for a first-timer, and what's in Caleb's quiver this season. Watch the full episode on Youtube - Link in bio.

35th Annual Pipeline Invitational Classic. Don’t feel slighted if ya didn’t get it invited… not much room to roam this year. Low tide and some kelp amongst the reef, but with 50 turns each run… definitely worth the paddle out 🤙 by @most_og

What's really driving all that Portillo pow? El Niño or Atmospheric River?

It’s always winter somewhere. Ready for a trip to South America?

Craig Gordon spent decades forecasting avalanches and chasing winter. Now, he’s teaming up with DPS Skis in Salt Lake City to keep it going all summer long. He’ll check in with the DPS Ambassadors chasing snow in the Andes, and bring his own read on conditions, forecasts, and mountain weather along the way.

Stay tuned. Winter is just getting started. by @most_og
